PhD student in Plasma / Thin Films / Surface Science interactions for magnetic nuclear fusion devices

École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) - Swiss Plasma Center, Switzerland
  • Location
    Klingelbergstrasse 82, 4056 Basel, Switserland
  • Starting Date
    As soon as possible
  • Position Type
    PhD position
The PhD work concerns experimental and numerical studies of plasma cleaning of the so-called first mirrors for future fusion facilities, such as ITER First mirrors will play a crucial role in numerous ITER optical diagnostic systems. The deposition of material eroded from the wall of ITER can degrade the reflectivity of the first mirrors severely. Plasma cleaning using radio-frequency capacitively coupled plasmas is currently being considered as the most promising in-situ cleaning technique. However, this technique has not been validated with magnetized plasmas, which is of crucial importance in fusion tokamaks.
